Sam Raimi says that he 'hopes that it's on the cards' for him to eventually make another Evil Dead movie with Ash actor Bruce Campbell.
Sam Raimi says he’d like to make another Evil Dead movie with Ash actor Bruce Campbell. Raimi changed the horror landscape forever with his original low-budget Evil Dead movie, then changed it again a few years later with the horror-comedy sequel Evil Dead II.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY But even with Evil Dead Rise arriving to take the franchise in another new direction, Raimi indicates that he’s not finished making his own contributions to the series, telling Empire that he’d love to reunite with original Evil Dead star Campbell as well as producer Rob Tapert for another movie.
That character, Mia, was great, so I was very interested. We had been talking about an ‘Evil Dead IV’ for the other branch of that universe, and we were worried a little bit about a collision. Ash Vs Evil Dead is what that morphed into. But I always thought there was room for both. I still think there’s room for all sorts of Evil Dead movies. I don’t think they cancel each other out. … I love working with Bruce and Rob.
How to approach Evil Dead from a tonal point-of-view is of course the big question. Not everyone has Raimi’s ability to bring together the worlds of supernatural horror and slapstick comedy, and the 2013 reboot frankly didn’t try. Those who appreciate the Raimi touch may not particularly care if they ever see Mia again in the Evil Dead universe, but would very much enjoy Campbell returning for one last gory blow-out, with Raimi back in the director’s chair.
Raimi himself does indicate that he likes the character of Mia however, and this seems to open the door on a return for Jane Levy’s character. The great thing about the Evil Dead universe is that it can seemingly be anything and go anywhere, with Raimi even taking Ash into the world of Arthurian legend with 1992’s Army of Darkness.
